If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their heart forever.

It is annoying when people call me Matilda instead of my name when they actually know my name, because you know, we are two different people. But what can you do?

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.

I'd rather be known for my accomplishments, and for things that I really do take pride in, rather than known for this doll-like image I had when I was a child.

I had so many adults around me reminding me that I was a kid. I also had a lot of adults saying things to me like, "When I was your age..." and sort of idealizing it. I didn't like that they idealized it.

I was never a prodigy. I was never a child genius.

It's easier to see children as mini adults than it is to imagine or to remember what it is to be a child again.
